Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The mode determines if the pacemaker can sense (and not compete with) the client's own rhythm or if it delivers its stimulus without regard to the client's rhythm. Energy output is adjusted until there is visible capture. The rate is the number of impulses sent to the client's myocardium per minute, similar to heart rate. Sensitivity is the ability to sense the client's own rhythm and is required for capture to occur. There is no battery mode.
